Get the Look

With the weather staying sub-zero for much of the UK, coats are a hot topic. But spring will be here before we know it, so it's worth investing in lighter jackets to see us into the new season too.

The trench coat is top of our list. This classic piece has had a spring/summer update so expect soft colours (like this blush pink version, £49) long-line lengths, relaxed silhouettes and light-weight, fluid fabrics. If you want to show off your waist, then it's totally ok to wear yours belted, but we also love the simple, column silhouettes of an unbelted coat too.

The best thing about the trench is that it looks just as stylish with rolled-up jeans and sneakers as it does with chic tailoring. We'll have one in every colour please!

January blues? If the post-Christmas come-down has left you feeling a little deflated then look to nature to cheer things up. Despite wintry weather and dropping temperatures, you can still cheat that spring feeling by going green. Here's how we're doing it...

Invest in botanical prints: These pretty pumps feature a striking print and embellishment detailing - just the thing to refresh your style for the new season. Team them with a blush shirt and jeans for weekend chic.

Visit an indoor garden: For all the benefits of the great outdoors (without the wind and rain) there are loads of beautiful gardens across the country where you can enjoy the flora and fauna with a roof over your head. Grab a friend for a weekend walk or take the kids on a fun day out.

Eat your greens: If you're trying to get back in shape after winter excesses then filling up on lots of lovely vegetables is a must. We've been starting the day with courgette and raspberry smoothies in the office... it's a surprisingly tasty combination and sets us well on our way to five a day. From the instagram snap above, it looks like Lea Michele (of Glee fame) has the same idea.

Bring the outdoors in: Plants are proven to improve your mood. Whether it's a pretty flower pot for your desk or replacing a tried-looking houseplant, surround yourself with some greenery.

Jamelia wore this Lola Skye embellished denim shirt on Loose Women this week and we think she looks fab! Even better, you can steal her style for just £15 (if you're quick!) It's a great way to give your casual wardrobe a fashion edge.

We all own leggings, and we know that you love jeggings - this season try out treggings for a fresh, new look. Combining the comfort of leggings but styled out as a more formal trouser, treggings are the most versatile piece to own this winter. Choose from must-have colours and statement prints for your weekend look to suit your style.

Moody checks are our favourite print this winter - try this look for a cosy pub lunch or shopping day out. Layer up a staple shirt with a fluffy knit for casual chic.

Or why not dress them up for an easy-to-wear look that can take you from day to night in an instant. Adding statement jewellery, high heels and a luxe biker jacket make this outfit ideal for saturday nights at the bar.

We teamed up with Cosmopolitan Magazine for their fabulous FashFest event last week. The highlight? A glittering Catwalk to Cosmo show featuring the very best fashion fresh from the British high street.

Cosmopolitan Magazine have also been picking out some of their favourite DP pieces over the last few weeks, so we've put them in one place, along with the outfits seen on the catwalk, so you can shop the must-haves right now.

With Fashion Weeks in full swing across the globe, there's no better time to look for some extra style inspiration.

The catwalks might be showcasing next season's looks, but when it comes to street style, there are plenty of outfits ideas that work right now. One of our favourite key pieces is the tailored trouser – whether it's a neat ankle-grazer, cool wide leg style or on-trend culottes, there'll be a pair that fits your style and the ever-changing weather that September is throwing at us.

The Peg Style: these look great with flat brogues or loafers, and just as good with heels. Try them with a feminine shirt or blouse to revamp your working wardrobe.

The Wide Leg: stride out in navy checks or grey pinstripes – simply add a chunky wedge heel while the weather's nice.

The Culottes: they were big news for summer but work perfectly for autumn too. Try with high heels or even a knee-high ankle boot once the temperature drops.

The modern short shape is taking over this summer. A great alternative to a loose-fitting skirt, culottes will keep you looking cool and feeling even cooler with their easy fit. Invest in them now for instant style points all summer long.
